Curettage can cause great harm to the female body. Many people may think that curettage is just a small operation and it should not be a big deal. They can go out after resting for a day or two. In fact, it is not like that. After curettage, you must get a good rest before going out to avoid some serious consequences. Poor rest may cause the uterus to fail to recover as soon as possible, which may affect future fertility. How long does it usually take before you can go out after a uterine cleaning? How long after curettage can I go out? Diagnostic curettage does not affect going out, but therapeutic curettage requires at least 2 weeks before going out. Curettage refers to a surgery to scrape and collect endometrial tissue in the uterus. It is a common surgery in obstetrics and gynecology and is also one of the methods of artificial abortion. There are two types of curettage. One is suitable for taking the scraped uterine contents for pathological examination to assist in diagnosis, which is called diagnostic curettage. This type of curettage causes minimal harm to women. Generally, as long as they avoid colds, it will not affect their normal life. Therapeutic curettage is what we often call an abortion procedure. It is extremely harmful to women. Post-abortion care is very important for female friends and even the entire family. Therefore, after a therapeutic curettage, you need to rest for at least 2 weeks before going out. Therefore, diagnostic curettage does not affect going out, but therapeutic curettage requires at least 2 weeks before going out. Diagnostic curettage is also called diagnostic curettage. Its purpose is to scrape the contents of the uterine cavity for pathological examination to assist in diagnosis. If cervical canal disease is suspected at the same time, the cervical canal and uterine cavity need to be curettaged in steps, which is called segmental curettage. It is a method used to diagnose diseases. Diagnostic curettage is very important in gynecology. It is a commonly used and important auxiliary diagnostic method in gynecology. It has a wide range of applications: 1. Diagnostic curettage can be used for women with postmenstrual uterine bleeding. This method can be used to diagnose whether there are tumors in the uterine cavity and cervical canal of women. 2. Diagnostic curettage can be used for women with irregular menstruation. By performing a pathological examination of the endometrium of women with irregular menstruation, we can understand what abnormal changes occur in the reproductive endocrine system in women. 3. It is also suitable for patients with endometrial tuberculosis. 4. For women with infertility, diagnostic curettage can also be used to understand the female endocrine condition and find out whether the infertility is caused by anovulation or by lesions in the endometrium itself. How to care after curettage 1. Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition. After the curettage, you should rest in bed for 2 to 3 days, then you can get out of bed and move around, gradually increasing the time you spend on activities. Do not engage in heavy physical labor and avoid contact with cold water within half a month after curettage. It takes about a month for the uterus to recover after curettage. Therefore, we should pay attention to increasing nutrition, taking in adequate protein, enhancing the body's resistance to disease, and promoting the early repair of injured organs. After the curettage, you should eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products, as well as fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up your body's recovery. 2. Keep the vulva clean and hygienic, and avoid sexual intercourse. After curettage, the cervix has not yet closed and the endometrium also has a repair process. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic. Do not take a bath in a tub within half a month after the operation to prevent unclean water from entering the vagina, leading to bacterial invasion and infection. Avoid sexual intercourse within one month after curettage. 3. Observe the bleeding situation and prevent the condition from worsening. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after curettage, and is accompanied by symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. 4. Abdominal pain will occur due to uterine contraction after the operation, and most of the time it will be relieved in about half an hour to an hour. If severe abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding with large blood clots, and high fever occur after a few hours or days, you should go to the hospital immediately. 5. Within 2 weeks after the operation, rest in bed appropriately and avoid heavy physical labor. 6. Eat more nutritious food to restore your body to normal as soon as possible. Generally speaking, cold drinks should be avoided for 7-10 days after surgery, and spicy food should be avoided within one month. 7. Do not take a sitz bath within a week or before vaginal bleeding has stopped. 8. Avoid sexual intercourse within one month to prevent genital organ infection. If you have fever, abdominal pain, or vaginal discharge with an unusual odor, seek medical attention immediately. |
